Are Fluffernutters even a thing in other parts of the country?

When I was a kid I used to bring a fluffernutter sandwich to school every day. :lol3: Now I won't even go near the stuff. :lol3: There's a good recipe for fudge using it though -

My mother used to make it all the time. My nieces and nephews loved it.



Have any of you had fluffernutter sandwiches and what did you think of them?

wow.. I have not had this is YEARS!!! So good!

They were a standard where I grew up - Philadelphia. I still make them once in a while when I can get marshmallow whip, which definitely isn't a German thing. :lol3:

I've lived my entire life not far from where the marshmallow fluff was invented and have never ever had a fluffernutter sandwhich. Sandwhiches were never a big part of my growing up. I don't anyone at school ever brought a fluffernutter sandwhich to school for lunch. Then again I went to very diverse schools with kids of all different ethnicities and religions so maybe fluffernutter just isn't popular or even known.

We had them, but not very often. 

The Amish have a recipe for a peanut butter and marshmallow creme sauce/spread that you can put on bread, muffins, etc. We were at an Amish restaurant a while back and they served it. My BIL loved the stuff and he was going to buy some. I told him not to, that we could make it at home. And we did. He loves the stuff and I keep him supplied. 

My recipe for whoopie pie filling uses marshmallow creme, not Fluff. In fact, it specifically says Do NOT use Fluff.

(We keep a jar of marshmallow creme on hand so that I can add it to chocolate marshmallow ice cream.   There's never enough marshmallow in the ice cream!   )

I tried a bite years ago, I disliked it immensely.

I don't like marshmallow fluff :/. Well, it's been years, I should probably try it again, my tastes tend to change. But I didn't like it last time I tried. I do like peanut butter and honey sandwiches though, mm.

One of my co-workers just told me that he likes peanut butter, jelly, and bacon sandwiches. . ..I'm intrigued but I'm not sure I'll ever get brave enough to try that! :lol3:

The Fluffernutter has yet to make it to Australia.  We don't even do the 'jelly' thing.  Adding honey to a peanut butter sandwich is about as exotic as we get.

Do you do jam?

I've never heard of a fluffernutter sandwich. Mother used to mash bananas and peanut butter together for a sandwich spread, and I loved it. Still do, but too many calories.

I've never had one but sounds good. I love marshmallow creme.

Hmmmmm.  What an interesting idea. 

When I was a kid we sometimes had peanut butter and marshmallow creme sandwiches but I never knew what they were called.  I'd completely forgotten about them!  Now I want one. 

I've always been appalled by English novels where the kids were given bread and jam for dinner. It took me a while to work out they meant jelly, but it still wasn't a nutritious supper for children.

In the States, jam is made from the whole fruit, almost like preserves, but not so thick. Jelly is made from fruit juice. And what you call jelly, we call Jell-o, regardless of the brand it's made from, and sometimes, gelatin.
